I'm running for the board

> Hi Folks -
>
> I'd like to officially throw my hat in the ring for the coming election. And
> just like last year, I'll do that by trying to be clear where my personal
> focus will be for the next year:
>
> * Finalizing the SFC membership and the 4.0 release. Yes, we're *almost*
> there and there's even a small chance we might get things done before the
> election. But it ain't over 'til the fat lady sings, and we're not done yet.
> Plus there will be several follow-up activities, including an update to the
> election and/or membership process to discuss with the community.
>
> * More contributions. Even though I am happy with the contribution process
> so far, I am not satisfied with the number of contributors. Over the last
> year, I had hoped that some long-time contributors would start contributing
> again, but that largely hasn't happened. We need to expand the number of
> regular contributors if we want to be a feasible open source project in the
> long term.
>
> * Old projects adopting a new Squeak. Croquet/Cobalt is currently in the
> process of being ported back on top of current Squeak trunk. I'd like to see
> the same process started to get Etoys back. With an audience the size of the
> XO deployment we have a very interesting user base to serve and the
> combination of efforts can help both sides to progress faster.
>
> To sum it up, at this point you can pretty much expect "more of the same"
> from me. If you liked it last year, vote for me. If you didn't, well, then
> don't :-)
